Bullying Prevention Awareness Month

October is Bullying Prevention Awareness Month and it's a perfect opportunity to talk about federal publications, web sites and blogs.

Did you know that the Washington State Library has a comprehensive collection of federal and state publications going way back into the 1880s? We are the Regional Federal Depository Library for Washington and Alaska. Most government publications can be located through the State Library’s online catalog (indicated below as At WSL). Stop Bullying.Gov is a great place to learn about Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. There are materials for parents, teachers, and kids (http://www.stopbullying.gov/resources). You can also find the policies and laws of various states. Here's a link to the Washington State page: http://www.stopbullying.gov/laws/washington.html. In Washington State harassment, intimidation or bullying are terms used in anti-bullying laws. The laws also cover cyberbullying. Here are some federal publications at WSL that may be of interest: Bullying is not a fact of life (HE 20.427:B 87/2/2008). (n.d.).
